variable substitution in metadata editor

Software darktable

Hi All, I’m using DT 4.6.1 on Win 11 and trying to add the file name in the description field of the metadata editor. I tried adding $(FILE_NAME).$(FILE_EXTENSION) but when I export the image the variables are not being substituted. Other than using exiftool, is there a way to have DT add that in the metadata?
TIA
Peter

JFYI i edited your post for readability. you can use the backtick character ` to make inline code blocks. or triple backtick to have multi line blocks:

```
